04 1.4 Door lock/unlock problem - carlover
Hello,
I was hoping someone could help/comment on the following problem:

The front passenger door of the car cannot be opened. Using the central locking the other doors can be opened but this one fails to open. It used to happen occasionally but now it cant be opened at all.
Brought it to a mechanic and he oiled the motor that locks/unlcoks the car door.
Problem is now the door cannot be opened as there is no way of opening/unlocking the door and cant get at the door to work on it.
Is there a way of getting the lock open besides busting the lock?
Can it be ripped from the inside of the car?

Thanks for the help!
